255: National Lampoon's Watergate Sep 27, 2025

Show notes

Kimberly Atkins Stohr hosts #SistersInLaw to lay out the insanity of the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey, decry the politics of revenge, and look at whether the claims have any merit. Then, the #Sisters explain what ‘AntiFa’ refers to, and why the term has become such a flash point in the age of democratic decline and help us understand the historical framework of domestic terrorism under the law. They also look at the allegations against Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, regarding his acceptance of $50,000 in cash and explain the challenges of holding people in the administration to account.

253: We Are All In This Together Sep 13, 2025

Show notes

Joyce Vance hosts #SistersInLaw to reflect on the murder of Charlie Kirk, the escalation of political violence, and the legal issues involved– from free speech to gun control. The #Sisters also look at the role of the FBI in investigations like this, and call for unity and to bridge the divides driving us apart from our fellow Americans. Then, they call out the SCOTUS ruling in favor of racial profiling and look at the implications for all of us, no matter what our language, jobs, or ethnicities. From there, they explore the recent orders and decisions coming out of the SCOTUS on a number of other critical cases.

251: Nullification Aug 30, 2025

Show notes

Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw to usher in Labor Day with a discussion of Trump’s attack on Federal Reserve Board member Lisa Cook, her lawsuit against him, and whether either of them has a case. Then, they break down the assault on the CDC and the healthcare system under RFK Jr.’s tenure, and look ahead to what it means for the future of our national health. They also use the recent sandwich-throwing incident to explore the use cases of jury nullification, and lay out our rights to free expression in the face of the president’s E.O. targeting flag burning.

Show notes

Joyce Vance hosts #SistersInLaw to examine the legality of the proposed effort by Governor Abbott to gerrymander Texas, how the Democrats in the Texas legislature are fighting back, and where things might go from here.
